Center
Primary
The film's central conflict revolves around a supernatural entity and an individual's extreme sacrifice to combat it, rather than engaging with political ideologies or advocating for specific societal changes, resulting in a neutral rating.
The movie features a prominent Black lead actor, Denzel Washington, which contributes to visible diversity in the cast. However, the narrative itself does not engage in explicit critiques of traditional identities or center DEI themes, maintaining a neutral or positive framing of such characters.
Secondary
The film affirms the existence of a demonic entity, a 'fallen angel' named Azazel, which operates within a cosmology consistent with Christian beliefs about spiritual good and evil. While Azazel is a force of evil, its very existence validates core tenets of the faith, framing the narrative as a serious spiritual battle rather than a critique of religion.
